Sally Struthers’ rep denies drunk-driving charge

Veteran actress Sally Struthers returned to work as scheduled on Thursday last week as she fought allegations of drunk driving following an arrest early on Wednesday.

The “All in the Family” star was taken into custody by police in Maine and booked on a misdemeanor charge of operating under the influence (OUI).

She was released on $160 bail on Wednesday, but she brushed off the incident and headed back to The Ogunquit Playhouse the following day to resume her work on a local theater version of Dolly Parton’s musical “9 to 5.”

She refused to let the legal trouble interfere with her work and her representative, Pam Sharp, reveals Struthers is planning to fight the charge.

Sharp tells UsMagazine.com, “Sally is working and she is fine and she loves The Ogunquit Playhouse and her yearly time in Ogunquit. We deny these charges.”
